See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: James A. Murphy appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Secretary of the Navy and dismissing his complaint challenging his involuntary discharge. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Murphy v. Dalton, No. CA-97-322-A (E.D. Va. Oct. 8, 1997).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
